The graphics in the game are generally considered basic and reminiscent of older racing titles, lacking the polish expected in modern games. While some players appreciate the depth of the simulation, they note that the presentation and overall graphics quality could be significantly improved. As an indie title, it is somewhat forgivable, but it still leaves room for enhancement.
“This is just what I was looking for with a few minor niggles: presentation and graphics quality could be better but it's an indie game so I can live with that as the simulation side is very deep with lots of options and simply the best there is.”
“Graphics could be much better and the commentary is awful.”
“This version of the game is mostly the same as Starters Orders 7, just with 2D graphics and you can't ride the horses like the 3D version.”
